Well, maybe it is, but there’s not much going on lately so I’ll just bore you.
• There’s a huge lice outbreak at the elementary school. Rumor has it that 80 kids have teh boogs. We all hate the nit comb.
• The in-laws made it through Ike okay, although they lost power for [...]

How to spend a relaxing Saturday evening

Saturday, February 9th, 2008

1. Be working on a research paper due Monday.
2. Look in the dog kennel. Discover just the cap of what appears to be silicon sealant. Do not find the rest of the tube.

Puppy jobs

Caroline has this thing about loose teeth. They totally squick her out and she’ll moan and complain about them, but refuses to pull them. When it gets to the point that they’re completely sideways and/or backwards in her mouth, I basically have to tie her up and pull the damned things.

We’ve (mostly) officially decided on a name, continuing in our beverage theme.

Tito does a lot of sleeping and chasing his tail. He’s insanely cuddly. He’s a little too young to do the crate at night, which we discovered after he howled and shook last night. So he slept in the [...]
